From the Apple Watch Ultra to the Dynamic Island, these are the coolest things Apple just unveiled

1. Apple just unveiled new products and gadgets. At its "Far Out" event yesterday, Apple pulled the wraps off the new iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro, a fresh lineup of Apple Watches, and next-gen AirPods. Here's what stood out:

• Much of the event was focused on new safety features, including Crash Detection, which can sense if you've been in a car wreck and call emergency services and alert your emergency contacts.
• The new iPhones will also come with Emergency SOS via satellites, which will help connect you with emergency services if you find yourself stranded in an area without cell service. Here are some other stand-out new features.
• As expected, Apple released a hardy new watch for athletes: the Apple Watch Ultra. Just shy of $800, the watch comes with a slew of features and hardware made to withstand extreme sports. Get a look at the Apple Watch Ultra.
• Finally, the widely hated "notch" has been replaced by a pill-shaped cutout that Apple is calling the "Dynamic Island," where information and notifications will be sleekly displayed. If you want to hear about more about the Dynamic Island, listen to my segment on The Refresh from Insider.

Everything to know about the new iPhones, including new colors and prices.
